Summary

The objective of this pilot study is to collect preliminary data using total body scans on a new, first of its kind, FDA 510k-cleared positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scanner, called EXPLORER. The study will aim to recruit healthy individuals from racial/ethnic minority populations.

Detailed description

The aim of this pilot study is to increase the number of healthy individuals from racial/ethnic minority populations. This will advance research being conducted at EMIC by providing "controls" or comparisons to differentiate between images from patients with cancer versus healthy people of the same racial/ethnic ancestry. In addition, blood samples from participants to this study will be utilized for quantitative, genetics-based estimates of ancestry (e.g., African, Chinese, Colombian, Western European, Mexican, Vietnamese, etc.), which is especially valuable in the case of admixed individuals.
